RWX, a company building the best developer experience in Continuous Integration, announced it launched a new platform called Mint. And the company also disclosed that it raised a $7 million in seed funding round led by Quiet Capital in 2022.
CI/CD platforms handle all the automation that runs on every code change an engineer makes. They are a major component of the software development life cycle (SDLC), and their impact will be even more important as AI starts generating code.
Most CI/CD platforms were created in the early days of cloud computing and have not evolved to integrate modern techniques and best practices, creating an opportunity to build a next-generation platform.
With existing CI/CD platforms, engineers have to wait for tests to run that aren’t related to their code changes. And engineers spend time reviewing raw logs to identify failures, even though they are looking at results in their browser that can display more richly formatted results. So engineers push their task definitions to version control platforms to run the automation, creating an inefficient cycle for iteration. To solve these problems and more, the company launched Mint, a Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) platform.
RWX was created by Dan Manges and Tommy Graves in 2022. Previously, Manges was the CTO of Root, a technology-powered car insurance carrier – which he co-founded in 2015 and took public in 2020 via an IPO. Before Root, Manges was the CTO of Braintree, where he built a payments platform (acquired by PayPal in 2013 for $800 million).

KEY QUOTES:
“We’re thoroughly impressed with Mint’s innovative capabilities for CI/CD. We use a wide variety of technologies for building our data-intensive financial software platform, and we’ve been able to seamlessly leverage Mint across all our projects. Mint is a common engineering productivity platform across all our systems providing superior performance at a superior price point compared to GitHub Actions and other CI/CD platforms. Our engineering team is more productive with Mint’s fast builds, rich telemetry, and elegant developer experience. Additionally, with Mint being SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and providing hardened vault features, our CD pipelines have industry-leading security.”
– Bill Kaper, co-founder and CTO, HubiFi
“At Visivo, we’re thoughtfully designing the most dev-friendly and secure analytics platform. After seeing Mint’s refreshing approach to CI/CD, we immediately decided to migrate to it. Defining our workflows as a task-based graph was a huge improvement in composition, reuse, and performance compared to our previous scripts. Having content-based caching eliminates needless executions, and we now get faster and more actionable feedback on build failures.”
– Tim Overly, co-founder at Visivo
